Everyday East Africa PLC, one of Kenya’s oldest corporate entities established in the early years of independence, has unveiled a sweeping transformation.
Moving beyond its iconic “Shika Paka Pawa” brand, the company is repositioning itself as an integrated clean energy platform aimed at becoming a key player in green energy. The company plans to evolve from a traditional battery seller into a multifaceted provider of solar power, energy storage, clean cooking solutions, carbon market initiatives, and electric vehicle financing.
At the center of this new direction is Eveready’s Integrated Clean Energy Platform (ICEP), designed to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end energy solutions. The platform will serve institutions, corporations, schools, healthcare facilities, households, and small businesses by combining technology, financing, installation, and after-sales support.
Strategic partnerships with global technology leaders such as Huawei Technologies and Jinko Solar enable Eveready to provide world-class solar and digital power solutions, including commercial and industrial solar inverters, residential backup systems, high-efficiency solar panels, and smart energy management tools.
The goal is to reduce energy costs and improve reliability, with many projects structured to become self-financing within a few years through accumulated energy savings, making sustainable technology an economically sound choice.
Eveready is also entering the electric mobility market through a partnership with EV Jumla, launching asset-backed financing solutions to address the high upfront cost of electric vehicles. This will include financing for electric bikes and cars for individuals and fleet operators, with flexible repayment options tailored for taxi drivers, delivery services, and commercial users.
Integrated with renewable energy charging solutions, this initiative creates a synergistic ecosystem that positions Eveready as a catalyst for wider EV adoption, alongside the growing involvement of financial institutions in similar tailored products.
The clean energy expansion is further strengthened by Eveready’s collaboration with the Regional Voluntary Carbon Market Company, formed during Nairobi’s landmark carbon credit auction in 2023. This partnership allows the company to develop high-quality carbon projects that generate verified emissions reductions, opening up new revenue streams and attracting climate finance.
As the renewable energy market accelerates, driven by demand for reliable power and government targets for a fully clean energy mix, Eveready’s transformation strategically positions it to capture significant growth.
Leveraging more than seven decades of brand trust and national reach, the company aims to build a resilient, long-term business while advancing environmental stewardship, financial inclusion, and green job creation, in alignment with national sustainability ambitions and global environmental goals.
